A day in the life

^ I think I'll make this for Widget this year. Last year I bought him a Lego Advent Calendar and in 2010 I made him one. Printed out the template for the trees and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize how it worked. Yes. My blonde is showing. Anyway, that'll eat up my Friday, I imagine.

I'm sort of looking forward to it and sort of not because all of my crafty endeavors always end up with a step that makes me want to kill someone. If you're as craft challenged as I am, you know what I'm talking about.
  The high of starting something new and SHINY has worn off and the realization that you might've sunk money and time into something that won't even meet your drastically lowered expectations hits you hard. If you're lucky, you're happy with the end product. If you're not, well, we probably do not speak of it again.

And no. You do not need to hit me for thinking of undertaking the great Advent Calendar again. I've thought this one through and shot down a few of the more "are you kidding me?" ideas.

Painted my nails again. Went with a purple version of the last time but it works better in blue/green. I don't think it needed an undercoat so now it's a little too dark. I like it though. It's just not as sparkly as last week's.

If I've had this stuck in my head since last Friday, well. It's only fair that I share it with you all. :P

Slowly my influence is spreading. *cackles* I mean, uh... *cough* I've been getting the people at work to read The Dresden Files and watch Supernatural (with the warning to avoid fandom. Avoid. Fandom!) which is how things should be. *nods* One step closer to world domination.
